[QUOTE="joelcam, post: 141231, member: 23163"] Hi, Just interested in who actually believes there will ever be a cure for diabetes? Given the FACT that the money is not in the medication and not the cure I personally don't believe we will see one. Yes, things have greatly improved thanks to the good work being done on research and development but at what point will someone go "Oh great, this injection cures diabetes, so we will give it to everyone and never make any money again".....The money is in the medication not the cure and that's why personally I don't see a cure coming any time soon. From my perspective it seems all of the companies competing against each other to sell us their products are focussed on designing things that make it easier to 'manage' diabetes....to be honest I'm happy with my meter and my insulin injections for now so how about just focussing on a cure for me please? I have no doubt that things will keep getting better in terms of 'managing' diabetes and maybe soon it'll just be a pill you take once a month or something (but then you know that pill would be some expensive pill even if it cost 1p to make) so yes I think things will get better as long as there is money to be made for someone but a cure? I think not.... JC [/QUOTE]
